Craving fresh bread in the morning and a delightful tipple in the evening? Sol Bread & Wine has you covered.
Forget the boring boardrooms and rushed lunches. North Sydney’s Walker Street precinct has a new hangout that says “slow down and savour.” Sol Bread & Wine isn’t your average bakery or wine bar; it’s a chameleon, transforming throughout the day to suit your mood and needs.
Think of it as the neighbourhood’s culinary compass. In the morning, the aroma of freshly baked bread acts as your personal siren song. Head baker Brendon Woodward, a local legend from Loulou Boulangerie, unveils a daily bread bounty. You can take home crusty sourdough for perfect toast soldiers, pillowy focaccia begging to be a sandwich base, and vibrant pumpkin loaves adding a touch of sunshine to your day. Pastry cravings? Sol’s also got you covered, with classics like buttery croissants and more adventurous options like a baklava twist.
As the sun climbs higher, Sol transitions from a breakfast haven to a casual lunch spot. Their deli counter boasts a rotating selection of gourmet sandwiches including herbed falafel nestled in focaccia, or a classic chicken salad on spelt for a lighter option. But Sol doesn’t stop there. They understand the power of a good afternoon pick-me-up. So, if you’re feeling peckish, their take on cured meats and tinned seafood, sourced from their sister venue Una next door, is the perfect accompaniment to a crisp glass of something refreshing.
As the day stretches into the evening, the mood shifts. Sol’s warm glow invites a more relaxed pace. The tables are filled with groups sharing plates designed for social dining. Dig into a platter of spatchcock with fragrant rice pilaf, or indulge in the melt-in-your-mouth braised wagyu beef cheek.
And what’s a good meal without a perfect drink? Sol’s curated wine list, overseen by sommelier Thomas Craig, celebrates approachable wines. Think minimal intervention bottles from Australia, France, and beyond. Feeling a little more adventurous? Their cocktail menu, crafted by head of bars Pasquale Scarpiello, offers playful twists on classics such as the Queen of Hearts cocktail, a delightful blend of gin with a touch of green apple and rhubarb complexity.
Sol Bread & Wine isn’t just about the food and drink, though. It’s a space that feels like an extension of your living room. With its warm ambience and dedication to quality, Sol is poised to become a cherished local haunt from sunrise pastries to sunset sips.
